Re: "...discussions regarding the solar passage through the arms of the Galaxy..."

Am I missing something or is this just wrong?

it seems logical that the sun is a member of a galactic arm and not just visiting; otherwise galactic arms would not form; only a random scattering of objects would exist. It's like suggesting that planets regularly pass through solar systems rather then belonging to them.

There is a factor of ten discrepancy in this article between the reported orbital speed of solar system and that of neighboring stars: "orbital speed is 217 km/s" and "...is always between 20 and 25 km/s for the Sun's neighbours" .
